Abstract
In this series of articles, the board members of ChemSusChem discuss recent research articles that they consider of exceptional quality and importance for sustainability. This entry features Prof. Dr. Antonio Facchetti, who discusses the use of organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices as a source of renewable energy, and challenges that must be met for OPVs to serve as a viable fully sustainable technology for future energy production, taking into account the components used in such devices and their stability and durability.
